Those of you starting new companies are executing upon insightful ideas, unique to solving a problem you’ve identified in the world. But what if you’ve found that it leaves a little something desired in order to take it to the next level? Something truly unique that will set your company apart?

Whether it’s building a completely new concept, or finding that you need to implement a never been done before novel technology, you may find that you need additional support to execute. For example, let’s say you have a great idea for an online site that understands urbanite’s tastes and recommends only the most fitting restaurants based on its (constantly learning) knowledge of your individual choices. You may have a nontechnical background, or you may need a partner who can bring your idea to execution. So how do you find that contact with such a level of expertise?

Palo Alto Research Center (PARC) is witnessing such requests regarding its areas of expertise, and having similar conversations with today’s entrepreneurs. We aim to partner with successful companies whose technologies are widely adopted.

These events are open to the public. And, of course, should you have a need to move your company to the next level, technologically, feel free to contact us.
